Challenges Bond Us

Emma (3rd from right) with her girls

My name is Emma and I'm 18 years old and from London England. I've been put in a group of 13 year old girls, all from different walks of life and many of them don't speak the same language as one another. Even I have encountered difficulties as I only speak English.

However I've seen Swamp camp pull these girls together, pushing them to make friends with people they would never really get to talk to. I just completed a consequence of a challenge which involved eating with our hands tied together. Although EXTREMELY impractical I really felt like it bonded us together. It's a biblical principle to become all things to all people, to not just stick to people who you can immediately relate to and I feel Swamp really teaches that.
